Corrupted Files...

[TimelesslyTiredYouth]

Hi all,

I would like to know why corrupted files become corrupted, and if there is a way to avoid this in larger (I mean considerably larger than average) fusion designs where all sketches are paremtric so I can change in the future with full constraints added (equal, ect...)

I was told and read that it was due to Fusion not being able to cope with large changes in file when changing one little sketch parameter, but I can't work onwards if this is the case...

is there any workarounds? as my file keeps becoming corrupted and I just can't go on and keep going back to past versions and losing work (Even if 20 mins as I keep end up corrupting the file...)

Kind regards

Ricky

define "corrupted".  Does that mean the file will no longer save and re-open?  That is what is usually meant as "corrupted".  Or do you just mean you have lots of timeline errors after you change a parameter?  If you share a design that is OK, and specify what operation causes the problems, you are more likely to get help.  Yes, sometimes large changes in a sketch dimension can cause problems (downstream failures). Those are getting fixed as they are found (but we need reproducible cases to do that).  But that should never never corrupt the design (meaning the design cannot be saved and re-opened later).   If you actually have a case where that is true, send it on, it will get high priority.

You should take some of the things you read with skepticism. In my day job I use Fusion to develop custom manufacturing automation systems. It isn't unusual to have 10000 and more components in a design.

In the 10 years and thousands of hours I have used Fusion, no a single of my designs has become corrupted.
